title: Isolated torsion of a left normal fallopian tube during pregnancy.
abstract: We present here a case of isolated torsion of a left normal fallopian tube at 37 weeks' gestation. Although uncommon, especially on the left side, torsion of the fallopian tube should be included in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain during pregnancy.
